Re: st: New program - snpgrab

[Elwood Cook <danielecook@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

(1.) This should be able to run under version 11.0, but I am not sure
about 10 as I am unable to test that.
(2.) I will create a help file in the next day or two.
(3.) The data is pulled in using the "efetch" utilities provided by
pubmed. (http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/corehtml/query/static/efetchseq_help.html)
(4.) Please feel free to provide more thoughts! If you'd like to try
it, you could type the following into Stata:



set obs 100
gen snp = _n
snpgrab snp



I will include more examples in the help file.

I am also working on programs for pulling in data based on gene names,
ids and publication ID's.

Thanks,
-E
